What are my responsibilities?

The Steg Till Arbete service is procured by the Employment Service and targets job seekers who, due to disabilities and/or a history of ill health, need work-oriented rehabilitation to enter employment or education. The service aims to identify the participant's resources and support needs in a cohesive process and to strengthen and develop the participant with the goal of employment or education. We start from the individual needs of the participants. The participants have varying lengths of unemployment, diverse educational backgrounds, and experiences of the labor market. We are now looking for someone who wants to support our operations as needed.

Steg Till Arbete consists of 4 parts: an initial mapping phase, if necessary an investigative phase, a phase with work trials with employers willing to accept participants, and a concluding phase aimed at becoming independent before and obtaining employment. The team around the participant includes an occupational therapist, job consultant, coordinator, and career counselor as needed. As a job consultant, you are involved in all 4 parts of the service. You conduct competency mapping, hold individual conversations as well as group activities, follow up on the participant's progress and work trials. You work with motivational conversations, guiding and health-promoting activities. You assist in preparing application documents and other strengthening activities regarding the labor market and have contacts with employers to find suitable work trial placements. Administration and documentation are ongoing, and it is important to meet set deadlines. Travel is included in the job.

Your profile

You have at least two years of full-time higher education or vocational training in sociology, behavioral science, pedagogy, or medicine, as well as at least one year of part-time experience in individual or group guidance/coaching of individuals with mental or physical health issues or disabilities in the last three years. To thrive in the role of job consultant, you are a driven and responsible person who can engage and motivate others. You find it easy to network and create business contacts, as well as collaborate with your colleagues in a changing environment. You have the ability to structure and prioritize your tasks and enjoy working in a results-oriented and goal-directed manner with several different parallel processes simultaneously. You are efficient and accurate in your documentation with good administrative skills.

We prefer that you have a B driver's license and access to a car. We place great emphasis on personal suitability for the position.
